That's a good looking brush, nicely done :tu
I know it's not everyone's cup of lather per-say but it fits my enormous hands
Looks good! I like it.
That looks awesome! Nicely done sir :) I'll bet the slight curve will help with control when whipping up lather as well.
I think that looks absolutely brilliant. Now to custom a stand for it.
Well done! :tu
That looks fantastic,love it.
Man that is NICE. Very nice job. What is the collar made of? Let's see some post bloom pics.
The color is some exotic hardwood flooring I found. I also made the base of my razor stand with the same wood. Thanks guys for the compliments
Here are the promised post bloom pics. Used it for the first time this morning. Very nice!!! You will notice that the handle has been modified from original because it really needed a groove for your fingers to grip.

Wow. thats looks real great Well don mister. love it.
Would you mind sharing how you made it? It's gorgeous!
There was a behind the scenes look at Rae Morris' brushes (she had them made in a factory in China), but it seems to be off Youtube now.
The knot I bought from Golden nib. The bull horn I had found at a flea market eons ago. I cut the tips of the horn off to reserve them for pipe tampers and then the middle chunk of the horn I reshaped into a point on a disc sander that is designed for making tobacco pipes. The wood was scrap pieces from some African Pear wood hardwood flooring I had laying around. The African Pear wood was 6 inches wide by 3/4 so I cut a 2in circle out and chucked it up I'm my metal lathe. I drilled a 1in hole and opened it up to 30mm. Removed it from the lathe and mixed up some two part marine epoxy and glued it the horn. Once it was dry I again shaped it on the purpose built disc sander and finished it by hand sanding at 220,340,600 ,1000. I the took pure hard carnauba wax and loaded my buffer again that I use for buffing tobacco pipes and gave it a heavy coat then buffed shiny. Realizing that with it being so smooth that it would slip from a wet hand I cut a groove using a dremel with a flex shaft fitted with a 1/2 in sanding drum. Again sanded to 1000 and rebuffed. I used the same epoxy to glue in the knot. Let it dry and there you have it.
That wins the award for originality.
Thanks for the detailed explaination! I might try to make my own sometime...
Thanks. The razor stand you see behind my last pics of the brush is made out of the same wood. Instead of horn I used deer antler medallions with shaped holes to hold the straight razors upright and a long piece of antler with a piece of the wood on the end to hold the brush. Attachment 87684
Great work on both the brush and the stand!
that has to be one on the MANLIEST brushes i have ever seen!!!!! i'm in love!
I LOVE BIG BRUSH HANDLES! The just fit my hand better, coupled up with a big badger knot then its my perfect brush! I just cant do those puny little brush handles.. You sir are truly awesome for thinking of sing a horn for a handle and keeping it in its true form! I applaud you.Quote:
